He and keenan Allen give them two really good pass receivers. I thought Williams was pretty good also in the second half. Williamswas a guy I picked up in fantasy off the waiver wire last year and was pretty consistent in the second half. Won me some money lolalong with picking up AJ Brown from Tennessee who was a monster in the second half. They have some decent weapons really. Justin Jackson
looks pretty quick in the backfield too, depends on if he can stay healthy I guess. Still need a guy like Gordon or Howard to be the big back. Or whoever.
Just need to solve the oline. Add a decent big back and get a good slot receiver. Get a little speed on the outside. Well maybe that is kind of a lot.

All of that and probably could use a legit starting CB as well. Wonder if they try for one in FA? A vet like Chris Harris would be great if they can swing it. If Adderley can play that gives Gus more options as well.
Re Williams: I sure hope they find a way to get more consistent production from him. He's a beast of a target but IMO just not enough production for a 7th overall. They need help there as you mentioned and I think they'll pluck one in mid rounds this draft...

IMO, Williams' lack of star-level production ties in with the O-line's inability to protect the passer. As a high-pointing deep-threat, Williams' success depends to a significant degree on the QB having enough time for Williams to get downfield.

Curious to see the degree to which the O-line gets the long overdue personnel additions it so desperately requires.

And parenthetically...

There's a year left on Pouncey's contract. But after he hurt his neck last season, Coach Lynn NEVER (that I ever heard) spoke in terms of Pouncey returning next year. Lynn spoke of the injury in a tone that suggested it was likely Pouncey would retire. Anyone have an update on what's expected here?

Yeah there's no question the whole offense would of been better with a respectable line, but maybe he can be used in the short passing game more as well? like Anquan Boldin...

Swear to God TT in the presser, after the season, looked as though it just dawned on him how bad the line was...lol So now he cares...He failed Rivers....and the whole team. Still, the good news is it seems to have woken him up...Very intriguing offseason...We could be looking at a complete Oline overhaul, save, maybe Feeney?...

Simmons or Brown I'd be down with on defense if that's the way they go. Pretty sure Simmons has played all positions except for dline. The cat can play CB as well...You just know Gus would love to have a swiss-army defender like Simmons...
